Considered one of the masterpieces of the mob movie genre and a cinema classic, “Scarface” was written by Oliver Stone and directed by Brian De Palma. This rags to riches mobster fairytale tells the tale of Tony Montana (Al Pacino), a lovely Cuban immigrant who comes to Miami in 1980 and is placed in a refugee camp. He and a few friends make their way out of the camp by becoming hit men for Frank Lopez, a powerful local drug dealer. Tony and his crew quickly prove their worth and begin climbing the ranks. Tony soon becomes Frank’s right hand man, but his ambitions go much higher than that. Tony wants Frank’s money, Frank’s power, even Frank’s girlfriend (Michelle Pfeiffer in her breakout performance). After making his power play and striking an independent deal with a Bolivian drug lord, Tony unavoidably finds himself at odds with Frank. After he survives an assassination attempt, Tony kills Frank and becomes the de facto cocaine kingpin of Miami. Tony gets everything he ever wanted, but his luxurious lifestyle and excessive cocaine use soon make him careless, erratic and paranoid. Ina drug fueled frenzy Tony manages to burn every bridge he ever built until he is alone against the world.

Definitely not for mile-a-minute action fans, because it makes you wanna fall asleep throughout the whole middle of the film. You could sleep through the climax if you wanted to! Incredibly dull, and trite. The only thing that holds it up is Pacino's masterful, bravura performance.

This is a very popular gangster film, yet it has never been regarded in the same ranks of “The Godfather”. I had wanted to see it for a long time, and I finally did. It is a very good movie. It has some great scenes, but the thing is that is follows all of the basic rules of gangster films. It also follows the formula of the main protagonist going through his own self-destruction. It is mostly entertaining, and very violent. What I also love in away about it is its tone. It never really takes itself too seriously, and for that reason is how it differs from “The Godfather” films. I also think that Al Pacino is great. I find this role it a great performance. Yes, he is over-the-top, but he has created an iconic character. Overall, it's very good, but not a masterpiece as expected.
